Sterling Den Kennels - When we take deposits at 4 weeks of age.

Deposit Policies:

(Policy updated 1/20/06)

We do not take deposits until the litter is 3-4 weeks old, because the puppies have to develop enough for me to price them by quality. This way, if we do not have a (male / female) of (name your color and quality), then you are free to continue looking, and your money is not tied up with waiting on us. (We have had substantial-sum deposits on file with some breeders, and have waited for as long as 3.5 years...with no complaints as we are willing to wait forever for the "right" dog...)

New! We now have a "Please Notify Me List"! Click here to join! Why do we organize ourselves by using a Yahoo Group for our list? Click here to read about that.

But, if you decide that you do want "X" puppy out of a certain litter, then a deposit of $300 would be required; and be applied toward the purchase price.

The reason I ask for a deposit after the puppies are priced and graded, is that I get around 20 serious emails per month that are asking for a "hold" on (current or future) puppies.

I can not hold a pup without a deposit, and once received, it is non-refundable unless something happens on my end that makes the puppy unavailable.

When the litter is old enough, I highly advise making any deposit via PayPal or bank draft, as our babies usually go quickly. If you do not have a PayPal account, it takes only 30 min's to set one up now and it links to your credit card and/or debit-bank account; your choice. Do yourself the favor and set this up promptly, as more and more breeders are now accepting PayPal. (We use PayPal to pay the Professional Handlers that show our dogs for us!)

Please understand that we can not accept excuses in the place of a deposit.
